Harrogate Language Academy

Harrogate, United Kingdom

Accredited English Language School in the heart of Yorkshire.

Harrogate is situated in the North of England. It is an old Spa town with a population of 70,000 people. It is famous for it's flowers, beautiful Victorian and Edwardian architecture, and it's Conference centre. The main economy comes from Tourism and the population is often much higher due to the number of holidaymakers, mostly British, and visitors to the Conference centre. With many hotels, guest houses, restaurants and bars, this small town is always alive.

Harrogate Language Academy is in the centre of the town, so all the facilities are on our doorstep. The building is comfortable and as well as classrooms and offices, we have a:

We are a small school, so it has a family feel to it. You will always receive personal care and attention, and all of the staff here are as interested in your welfare as your studies. If you are not happy, you will not learn, and we do our best to make being here an all round enjoyable experience. Students usually stay with host families, who live within walking distance of the school, and are carefully chosen to suit you.

Most of our year round students are 20+ years old and are here for serious study. Many are going on to further education in this country or are studying to improve their job opportunities. We specialise in these two spheres. We are an IELTS examination centre and run regular IELTS preparation courses and Academic english courses. We provide specialist professional and business language training to many individuals and companies.

This is a practical, stimulating programme for adults who are serious about better English. It’s also an ideal foundation for Academic English.

Induction

A placement test and interview on Day 1 help us to understand your objectives and select the right group for you. Academic induction and training help you catch up on the English you’ve forgotten – and find the best ways for you to study.

Content

You work on listening, speaking, reading and writing – and vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and situations. Other content includes presentations, interviews and note-taking. Learning how to learn is an important part of your work.

Progress

You have regular personal progress reviews – and tests. There is also daily homework.

Extra lessons

Additional individual lessons are available.

Intensive English is our most popular programme – and a chance to meet and work with interesting people from all over the world.

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is a major international English exam.

We have many years’ experience of successfully preparing students for IELTS and for university life. We also help medical and other professionals taking IELTS as part of their qualification for working in the UK.

Preparation Courses

We offer three types of IELTS preparation course: 6-week group, 1-week group and individual.

Teachers are experienced professionals who give you the individual, personal guidance you need. There is preparation and practice for all four modules - Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing - and all aspects of exam technique.

Courses are intensive IELTS Preparation (not a General English Course). They include personal interviews/progress reviews, course materials and use of school facilities.
